Abstract:
Abstract: This research aims to construct a theological foundation on biodiversity as a guide used to defend biodiversity sustainability. The method used is literature study that focuses on three things, namely biodiversity crisis and forests as a home for biodiversity (land), the voice of the Bible on biodiversity and its relationship with humans, and the importance of the fight for biodiversity sustainability. The condition of biodiversity is critical. Meanwhile, the Bible emphasizes that biodiversity is a creation that is highly valued and blessed by God. In addition, humans are God's co-creators who should strive for the health of biodiversity sustainability for the sake of the sustainability of all life on earth. As humans are connected and tied to biodiversity, they are a part of biodiversity. Keywords: Biodiversity, creation, sacramental, sustainability. Abstrak: Penelitian ini bertujuan membangun sebuah landasan teologis mengenai biodiversitas dan menjadikannya sebagai petunjuk dalam upaya memperjuangkan keberlanjutan biodiversitas. Metode yang digunakan adalah metode studi literatur yang difokuskan pada tiga hal, yakni krisis biodiversitas dan hutan sebagai rumah biodiversitas (darat), suara Alkitab mengenai biodiversitas dan relasinya dengan manusia, serta pentingnya perjuangan bagi keberlanjutan biodiversitas. Kondisi biodiversitas sedang kritis. Sementara itu, Alkitab menekankan bahwa biodiversitas adalah ciptaan yang sangat dihargai dan diberkati Allah. Selain itu, manusia adalah co-creator Allah yang harusnya memperjuangkan dan mengupayakan keberlanjutan kesehatan biodiversitas demi keberlanjutan kehidupan bersama, dan karena terhubung dan terikat dengan biodiversitas, ia adalah kerabat biodiversitas. Kata-kata kunci: Biodiversitas, ciptaan, sakramental, keberlanjutan.

Abstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore the use of narratives in biodiversity reports as a mechanism to raise the awareness of biodiversity’s importance. By classifying biodiversity narratives into 14 categories of biodiversity values this paper investigates whether the explanations for biodiversity conservation used by UK local councils are line with shallow, intermediate or deep philosophies. Design/methodology/approach This study used content analysis to examine the disclosures on biodiversity’s importance in the biodiversity action plans published by UK local councils. The narratives were first identified and then allocated into 14 categories of biodiversity value. Then, they were ascribed to either shallow (resource conservation, human welfare ecology and preservationism), intermediate (environmental stewardship and moral extensionism) or deep philosophies. Findings UK local councils explained biodiversity’s importance mainly in terms of its instrumental value, in line with shallow philosophies such as human welfare ecology and resource conservation. UK local councils sought to raise awareness of biodiversity’ importance by highlighting values that are important for the stakeholders that are able to contribute towards biodiversity conservation such as landowners, residents, visitors, business and industries. The authors also found that local councils’ biodiversity strategies were strongly influenced by 2010, the International Year of Biodiversity. Originality/value This paper is one of the few accounting studies that engages with the literature on environmental ethics to investigate biodiversity. In line with stakeholder theory, it indicates that explanations on biodiversity’s importance based on anthropocentric philosophies are considered more effective in informing those stakeholders whose behaviour needs to be changed to improve biodiversity conservation.

Abstract:
Biodiversity is the variety of life on Earth that underpins ecosystem services. The creation of that diversity came slow and hard: 3 billion years of evolution. Many species may have ecological functions man has not yet discovered. Does this fact entitle the society to discard seemingly useless parts? With a view to the oncoming changes such as climate change, the article admonishes the readers that the question should no longer be “how much biodiversity the society can afford”, but rather “whether the society can afford, not to conserve and enhance biodiversity as natural capital”.

Abstract:
Biodiversity is inherently multidimensional, encompassing taxonomic, functional, phylogenetic, genetic, landscape and many other elements of variability of life on the Earth. However, this fundamental principle of multidimensionality is rarely applied in research aimed at understanding biodiversity's value to ecosystem functions and the services they provide. This oversight means that our current understanding of the ecological and environmental consequences of biodiversity loss is limited primarily to what unidimensional studies have revealed. To address this issue, we review the literature, develop a conceptual framework for multidimensional biodiversity research based on this review and provide a case study to explore the framework. Our case study specifically examines how herbivory by whitetail deer ( Odocoileus virginianus ) alters the multidimensional influence of biodiversity on understory plant cover at Black Rock Forest, New York. Using three biodiversity dimensions (taxonomic, functional and phylogenetic diversity) to explore our framework, we found that herbivory alters biodiversity's multidimensional influence on plant cover; an effect not observable through a unidimensional approach. Although our review, framework and case study illustrate the advantages of multidimensional over unidimensional approaches, they also illustrate the statistical and empirical challenges such work entails. Meeting these challenges, however, where data and resources permit, will be important if we are to better understand and manage the consequences we face as biodiversity continues to decline in the foreseeable future.

Abstract:
Pricing and market exchange, we are now often told, are the only routes through which biological diversity can be saved. The objective of this dissertation is to examine the material-semiotic processes and networks by which a kind of ‘economized’, and even at times, ‘entrepreneurial nature’ comes to be. I ask: how did biodiversity become entangled in economic rationalities and market calculations? What are the circuits of knowledge and power producing biodiversity in this way? What calculative devices, methodologies and policies are created, or envisioned as necessary to make biodiversity conservation economic? And what are the implications, especially for the kinds of nature produced? To answer these questions, I study several ‘circuits of power and knowledge’ through which biodiversity is rendered visible, legible and especially economically calculable within global environmental governance. Not taking the subject of my thesis for granted, I begin by examining the rise of biodiversity in the 1980s, and its entanglements in notions of human security and as a source of exchange value, especially for biotechnology related applications. With this foundation, I go on to examine the Beijer Institute biodiversity programme, where, in the early 1990s, leading economists and ecologists met and developed a consensus on ‘the problem of biodiversity’, a consensus that is steeped in economic rationalities and methodologies. The rest of the dissertation focuses on very contemporary ‘circuits’ wherein ecologists, economists, NGOs, international institutions, and private firms attempt to render biodiversity economic, and, in some cases, profitable. This includes an examination of the rise of ecosystem service frameworks and models focused on weighing ‘trade-offs’ between different environmental management policies, attempts to produce biodiversity loss as a ‘material risk’ (meaning impacts on the bottom line calculations of firms), debates over how to make biodiversity markets, and intergovernmental negotiations focused on developing regulated market-like mechanisms that could finally achieve ‘green development’. In each of these cases I focus on how biodiversity is made visible and legible for governance, which means focusing on the conceptual apparatus, but also the calculative devices that quantify and value biodiversity and ecosystem changes.

Abstract:
Europeiska Unionens strategi för biologisk mångfald 2020, har snart avklarats, och tiden är inne för att bedöma strategins styrkor och svagheter. Allt som nedbrytningen av ekosystem och förlust av biologisk mångfald fortsätter att öka, är betydelsen av den politiska beslutsprocessen och politikers tillvägagångsätt mot ett hållbart utnyttjande av ekosystemtjänster större än någonsin tidigare. Med sex huvudmål och 20 åtgärder för att nå dessa mål, analyserar denna studien innebörden och kontexten av dessa åtgärder för att se hur ansvar i förhållande till tillvägagångssätt har en inverkan på åtgärdens samt strategins produktivitet. En modell skapades för att visa de specifika koderna, och relationen mellan tillvägagångsätt (direkt och indirekt ansvar) och produktivitet.
The European Union biodiversity strategy 2020 has soon run its course, and it is time to start assessing its success as well as its weaknesses. As the degradation of ecosystems and loss of biodiversity continues to speed up, the importance of political governance and policy makers’ approaches toward a sustainable use of ecosystem services, and loss of the loss of biodiversity, is greater than ever. With six targets and 20 actions to reach these goals, this study analyzes their content and context to see if responsibility, with regards to approach, has an impact on the productivity of the action, and the strategy. This has led to the creation of a model, mapping the actions and specific codes in an effort to find a relationship between the approach (direct and indirect responsibility) and productivity.

Abstract:
Tous les organismes vivant sont fait de cellules qui sont séparés du monde extérieur par une barrière, la membrane cellulaire. Un nombre important de protéine contrôle la fonction cellulaire en interagissant avec les stimuli extracellulaires. Cependant, les fonctions et structures des molécules de la membrane cellulaire tel que les lipides et les sucres ne sont toujours pas entièrement déterminées. Du point de vue de la biodiversité, quelques propriétés des biomembranes ont été étudiées sous deux aspects différents. (1) les phosphates de polyprényles ramifiés Plusieurs composés polyterpanique ont été abondamment trouvés dans les sédiments, et de telles structures auraient pour origine des alcools ou des phospholipides. Bien qu’ils n’aient toujours pas été trouvés dans les biomembranes actuelles, les phosphates de polyprényle ramifié auraient pu exister dans les membranes primitives. Plusieurs phosphates de polyprényle ramifié ont été synthétisés et nous avons effectué les études physico-chimiques de leurs propriétés membranaires. Les études microscopiques ont montré que les phosphates de polyprényle ramifié forment des vésicules en fonction du pH. Afin d’évaluer la perméabilité membranaire à l’eau de ces membranes, le gonflement osmotique d’une suspension unilamellaire de vésicules a été mesuré par la méthode de la diffusion de la lumière en flux à écoulement bloqué. Nous avons montré que la perméabilité à l’eau dépend étroitement de la structure et de la longueur de chaîne. Ces observations suggèrent que les phosphates de polyprényle ramifié pourraient être des constituants membranaires primitifs des membranes cellulaires. (2) Cholestérol phosphorylé Les membranes des vertébrés sont constitués de deux sortes de lipides : les constituants membranaires phosphorylés et les renforçateurs membranaires non phosphorylés comme le cholestérol. Pourquoi le cholestérol n’a pas été phosphorylé au cours de l’évolution des membranes ? Les membranes composées de diacylglycérol non phosphorylé et de cholestérol phosphorylé existent-elles ? Afin de répondre à ces questions, le cholestérol phosphocholine (CPC) a été synthétisé et ses propriétés physico-chimiques membranaires étudiées. Nous avons observé la formation de vésicules stables par microscopie optique d’un mélange approprié de CPC et de diacylglycérol à différents pH. Cependant, le rapport molaire entre le phospholipide et l’alcool permettant la formation de vésicules est plus étroit pour le mélange CPC/diacylglycérol que pour le mélange diacylglycérophospholipide/cholestérol. De plus, la perméabilité à l’eau des vésicules d’un mélange de CPC et de diacylglycérol dans un rapport molaire 1 : 1 est plus élevé que le mélange de diacylglycérophospholipide et de cholestérol dans le même rapport molaire 1 : 1. Les membranes des organismes vivants ont des propriétés d’adaptation à différents environnements contribuant ainsi à l’extension de la biodiversité. Ces résultats suggèrent donc que le cholestérol phosphorylés pourrait être présent dans les membranes de certains organismes qui n’ont pas encore été étudiés. (3) Des membranes « primitives » vers les proto-cellules Un processus d'évolution possible de vésicules formées par des constituants membranaires « primitifs » est le recouvrement de la membrane externe par un assemblage moléculaire pouvant former un « mur ». En premier lieu, nous avons montré que le phytyl-pullulan pouvait recouvrir les vésicules de lipides à double chaînes (2,3-diphytanyl-sn-glycero-1-phosphocholine (DphPC), 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (POPC)). Le cholestéryl-pullulan recouvre les lipides à double chaîne mais pas les lipides à une seule chaîne. Un mécanisme de sélection existe probablement entre la taille et la forme des constituants membranaires et les molécules hydrophobiques à insérer. Ensuite, l’utilisation des polysaccharides hydrophobes a permis la reconnaissance moléculaire entre les lectines et les polysaccharides sur la surface de vésicules géantes, ceci fournit un exemple de la complexification des membranes primitives vers les « proto-cellules ». (4) Fonction des membranes cellulaires. Les annexines sont une famille des protéines qui se lient aux phospholipides et aux carbohydrates. Dans cette étude, les propriétés immunologiques et les effets de l’annexines sur les bactéries Gram-positive dans le système immunitaire ont été étudiés. Premièrement, l’interaction des annexines avec l’acide lipotéichoique, localisé sur la surface des bactéries Gram-positive, de Staphylococcus aureus (bactérie Gram-positive) a été observée. Deuxièmement, les effets de l’annexines sur l’attachement des macrophages et des bactéries Gram-positive ont été examinés. Les résultats ont montré que les annexines supprimaient l’attachement de Staphylococcus aureus sur les macrophages humains. Cette découverte suggère que les annexines peuvent agir comme protéine anti-inflammatoire au niveau cellulaire en bloquant la voie d’interaction entre les cellules immunitaires et leurs cibles.

Abstract:
Biodiversity offsetting is a mechanism for providing physical compensation to redress losses to species and habitats caused by development projects. As offsetting becomes more widespread, so has the evolution and development of frameworks, tools and methodological approaches for assessing biodiversity and implementing offsets. In this context and with a specific focus on assessment methodology this research takes a scientific and pragmatic approach to bridge the gap between empirical approaches to biodiversity assessment and the practical, often subjective, methods used by practitioners. Although commonalities among methodologies exist, systematically reviewing the state of the art, revealed a complicated situation which would benefit from methodological standardisation. The challenge of determining which components of biodiversity should be assessed by a standardised approach was informed with data gained through a survey that questioned biodiversity practitioners on which criteria and attributes they considered the most important indicators of biodiversity value. Results of an extensive field study of three habitat types are reported and the new data are employed; (a) to examine the sensitivity of a metric proposed for pilot offsets in England, and (b) to develop a novel multi-metric index with potential for wide use in biodiversity offsetting. From an array of forty five metrics a reduced index was produced which conveys information from measurements pertaining to four important biodiversity components. The new index is objective, relatively quick to produce, replicable and scientifically defensible. Compatible with existing frameworks the new index comprises information practitioners would expect to see i.e. biodiversity data (beta-diversity), temporal risk, (time to maturity) habitat rarity and structural connectivity. It can reliably provide a measure of value to biodiversity, inform spatial planning decisions, generate data for monitoring and aid the comparison of two or more sites of similar habitat. In concluding, the thesis discusses practical limitations of the index and, more generally, limitations for biodiversity offsetting.

Abstract:
Biodiversity loss has been stated as one of the greatest risks for the future society according to the World Economic Forum (2018, p. 5). A million species is risking extinction due to current societies’ practices according to a report published during the conduction of this study(Brondizio et al., 2019, p. 3). This situation of biodiversity has led an increasing amount of countries to enforce legislation which requires companies that work with land development to comply with no net loss goal. In Sweden, no such legislation existed with regards to biodiversity. Against this background, a group of seven companies in Sweden voluntarily chose to strive toward the goal of biodiversity net gain. According to BNG strategy, a company does not only avoid, minimise, restore and offset to reach the point where zero net loss of biodiversity is achieved, but goes farther to create a net gain. As it is not sufficient for companies to stop emissions in order to halt the loss of biodiversity, BNG practices can help mend and even reverse the negative impacts until a gain of biodiversity is attained. A greater understanding of the opportunities that companies can benefit from implementing BNG helps spread this practice across industries. No previous research within the business literature explains companies’ voluntary initiatives to embrace BNG. Therefore, this explorative study suggested the research question of what the drivers are encouraging companies to voluntarily work towards achieving biodiversity-net-gain in Sweden. Due to the lack of previous research about companies’ drivers to engage with BNG, our theoretical framework was found based on the drivers from business case for sustainability and CSR approaches as a factor to generate change. To be able to answer the research question, it was necessary to establish what BNG is and how it has developed from the concept of ecosystem services. Having an interpretivistic standpoint, this study was completed according to an inductive and deductive approach. This was in order to facilitate the exploratory nature that our qualitative and comparative study. We conducted a multiple-case study through semi-structured interviews with seven large companies in the context of Sweden. These businesses are considered as the most ambitious in working towards BNG’s goal. The findings from the primary data was complemented by secondary data about the companies, the status of current legislation in Sweden and the sustainability status in Sweden. As a result of this thesis, we found that cost and cost reduction, risk and risk reduction, sales and profit margin, reputation and brand value, attractiveness as employer, innovative capabilities, stakeholders and health and well-being of future society to all be drivers for BNG. By applying our theoretical framework in the Swedish context, the seven companies were identified to engage in a proactive corporate biodiversity behaviour. Business cases for biodiversity were identified in some of the companies.

Abstract:
La biodiversité peut être définie comme "la variabilité des organismes vivants de toute origine, y compris, les écosystèmes terrestres, marins et autres écosystèmes aquatiques et les complexes écologiques dont ils font partie ; cela comprend la diversité au sein des espèces, et entre les espèces et ainsi que celle des écosystèmes" (Convention sur la Diversité Biologique de Rio de Janeiro, 1992 art. 2. Le terme «biodiversité» constitue, à première vue, un concept relativement simple: la biodiversité est la somme de toutes les variations biotiques du niveau des gènes aux écosystèmes (Purvis & Hector, 2000). On distingue donc : la diversité génétique (au sein de chaque espèce), la diversité spécifique ou taxonomique (entre les espèces au sein d’une communauté) et la diversité écosystémique (entre les communautés)
Biodiversity can be defined as "the variability of living organisms of any origin, including terrestrial, marine and other aquatic ecosystems and ecological complexes of which they are part; this includes diversity within species, andbetween species and ecosystems "(Convention on Biological Diversity of Rio de Janeiro, 1992 art. 2. The term "biodiversity" is, at first glance, a concept relatively simple: biodiversity is the sum of all the biotic variations of the from genes to ecosystems (Purvis & Hector, 2000).

Abstract:
This submission presents a small selection of my publications on a theme – the application of biodiversity data to inform both conservation and industry practice. The published work presented here demonstrates my ability to generate new biodiversity data, to interpret how to apply those data to improve conservation outcomes, and to apply the same biodiversity data in different ways to reduce industry impacts. The core biodiversity data I use are related to species’ distributions and conservation status, as direct indicators of their irreplaceability and vulnerability. This thesis comprises five peer-reviewed journal papers and a double-blind peer-reviewed published report. Several of these are well-cited: the submitted publications have cumulatively received in excess of 500 citations. My submitted publications have extended understanding in my area of specialisation, and had clear impact on scientific and professional practice. This is demonstrated not only by incorporation of these publications’ findings into conservation action and policy, but also by the professional advice that I am regularly sought to give as a recognised authority in my field to leading global companies, financial institutions, conservation donors and non-governmental organisations. My submitted work is the result of collaborations with leaders in my field. It includes the generation of new knowledge that has directly informed applied conservation of highly iii threatened species in Asia. It contains substantial scientific advances, such as an innovative approach I developed to resolve the long-standing and intractable problem of ‘limits to biodiversity offsets’. In some cases, it has had a clear practical impact on conservation – by guiding substantial donor funding towards, and even greater development investment away from, species and sites of highest global significance to conservation. In other cases, it has demonstrated influence on policy at a global level – such as shaping the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s policy on biodiversity offsets.

Abstract:
In this module, students have the opportunity to discover the hidden world of parasites: they will come face to face with living parasites, learn about what differentiates parasites from free-living species, observe some common adaptations to a parasitic lifestyle, explore the ecological role of parasites in food webs, and assess how parasite abundance might change in a changing world. To accomplish these goals, this module includes an introductory PowerPoint presentation (including a video of parasite ecologist Dr. Chelsea L. Wood delivering this introductory lecture) and two exercises. The first exercise is a wet lab that involves dissecting an easy (and disturbing) source of live parasite material: fresh fish from your local seafood market. The second exercise is a computer lab that will allow students to engage with real data to answer the question: how do human impacts on ecosystems change the abundance of parasites in wildlife? This module will introduce students to the basics of parasite ecology and provide an opportunity to practice their data analysis and interpretation skills.

Full text
Abstract:
Financing the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity has been called one of the greatest challenges. At the heart of this challenge lies the low financial and political value which is often assigned to biodiversity and the resulting lack of financial mechanisms for conservation and sustainable use. This report provides an overview of existing and experimental financing mechanisms that can be used to encourage the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity. To help to better understand these mechanisms, it proposes a taxonomy that divides the mechanisms into three categories: 1) Those that protect biodiversity as a public good; 2) Those that require correcting so-called "negative externalities" that hamper biodiversity conservation; 3) Those that can be used to support biodiversity-based businesses. The report ends with recommendations on how the Bank can support financing mechanisms that promote the conservation of biodiversity and its sustainable use.
